ok thanks, yes he is eating, I feed him the Mysis, it is only he and the 2 firefins in my tank along with the inverts. I would say i am very far from being overstocked and through the advice here i wont be putting any more fish in until I have more rock in the tank.

Thanks i id read it, my issue is the second tank. I dont have one, ive been using a goldfish bowl to do daily treatments for the clown. I dont want to kill my inverts either so curing the whole tank is going to be tough too.

ok i have since monitored this little clown. It looks like a white slime almost on him, but it is only on him. I took him out yesterday and treated him with this ick/velvet "copper" treatment? It seemd to work and he was good, but then this morning he had it again....i hope he lasts till i...

Thanks i assumed there was a thread for this but wasnt sure where to look.

Is there a spot in the forums for acronyms? I have seen a few but am not sure what they stand for since I am new to all this. I think LFS is local fish store? What is FOWLR? any others I should know about as well? Thank you.

I read that Ick is a form of Velvet...or vise versus.....i have velvet on one of my clowns this morning, and one of them is dead and being consumed rapidly by my hermits....is the cure for velvet the same as ick?

I have had a snail baby blowup a few weeks ago, I can see like 6 of them around the tank real tiny! I have read that it CAN become an issue but at this point I am not worried. Maybe you have baby snails as well and just have not found the others?

Pretty cool, what is he? I like the eyes!!

I apologize for the quality but here are a few of what I am currently dealing with. So first step is understood....get more rock! Thanks again.

Northstar, yes i am sure I did originally mess up these tests but right away realized the issue. I was told the nitrates above 5 was very bad so i have been scared of anything higher. Wonton The guy i buy from is super nice, I never thought of the issue of buying new fish, in my head i...

Thanks folks! Hey Nick my inlaws live in Alabama, Lillian I believe!

not enough.... i have what i would consider 8 pieces of larger live rock and 2 smaller. I stacked them so that there is room to hide and swim around but it does not fill up my space by all means, it is so expensive I try to buy a piece per pay check just to not have to drop a few hundred at...

thanks folks!

mine are still growing on the little platform I got them on, they have gone from 5 to 12 little guys. How to a get them off of this and onto a rock to grow on or will they do this themselves? Also THANK YOU for this post! Mine fall alot from where they are and I reach in to grab the pedestal...

Any input on clown mixing? I have heard some are not good to mix with others, and I have heard you can't mix any types at all? My son is 9, he has down Syndrome and all he knows is nemo, so Ideally i would love to have some clowns for him to watch, but i personally love the maroons. So, mix...

also again i want to mention, whatever is going on does not effect the inverts in the tank...or those 2 firefins.

Thats what I started to think, my amonia is pretty much on the zero end, my ph seems perfect i think 8.4 or something? I'm bad with remembering and im at work. The Nitrates seem to be the only thing that really changes drastically, and I try to keep that as close to zero as I can but it always...

A few of the fish were bought from the store as they came in, he hadn't even unabated them yet. I usually do the cup of water every 15-20 minutes to acclimate and then add them after an hour. They look great for a day or 2 and then seem to swim sideways, circle around and just die. Like I...

Ok question on your questions. Is there a more accurate way to report the levels of ph, ammonia, nitrates and nitrites? All I have is that color chart which can be very tricky at times. The nitrates are my biggest issue because of the multiple tones of orange and yellow...it is very hard to...

O the anemone was after the fish issues, and the fish I get are small, with trade in options from my local guy which I thought was nice. So when the sweet lips got bigger he would let me bring him down and fade him for something tank appropriate. Is this bad still? I will check ou the link...
